Superb story about one of my very favorite cars. I was lucky enough to drive one for two weeks, in February, many years ago...

One of my best memory with that car was driving for 2 laps the Le Mans track (the full 24h version, not the smaller Bugatti) just before Le Mans Classic. Driving down Mulsanne's straight (ahh les hunaudières...) at 170mk/h with a screaming 1600 cross flow...
